    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Via Carducci La Sorella, and it was an unforgettable experience! The ambiance was cozy and charming, perfect for a relaxing evening out. The highlight of the night was definitely their espresso martinis – they were perfectly crafted and absolutely delicious. The spaghetti carbonara was fantastic, with the perfect balance of creamy sauce and savory pancetta. Every bite was a delight! I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Italian cuisine.

    Took my husband for his birthday and wasn’t able to get in the dining room as no reservations available for my timeframe. Was worried about the ‘bar’ area but it was very nice as well. Beautiful place with great service and we loved every item we ordered. My husband loved it.

    Cocktails were good, food was mediocre. The crab dip lacked seasoning except excessive char (not browning) on top. The warm cookie was like a big Toll House, which went nicely with their egg nog variation. But it was a nice atmosphere and was otherwise a nice experience.
